Tool: PKSV - Pokémon Script Editor + GUI

[NarutoActor]

oh so you dont need to specify offsets the program finds it for you

 

[Full Metal]

:D exactly!
just so you guys know
OFFSET~ A "spot" inside a "file" used in a "hex" editor which contains things like "02 0A FE CD" one "byte" = XX or 1X where x can be a number between 1 and 9 or a letter a through F
by default i think a PKMN rom comes with 32 mb (lots of bytes) so an offset to a script tells you where that script is at in the file (your ROM file) and that is where your bytes to your script are at

 

[NarutoActor]

ah no regualar pokemon rom is 16mb you can make it 32 by expanding it also what text do we yous insted of mesage box 0x80000 what do we put ? message@1 ?

I looked at the source and realize how monolithic it was...you should have included a table of contents in your source XD

And maybe a reference manual, I'm pretty sure I abuse 1-letter variables and reuse wrongly-named variables because I always lose my place in the code if I scroll to the top of the function in its current state ;)... also, in both PKSV and PKSV-UI, I used a "goto" statement... hehe... it makes much more sense in PKSV, but in PKSVUI I could have used a function call with some local variables passed to it.

PKSV source (as opposed to PKSVUI) is only accessible through SVN, by the way.

Okay I know how to use the programme to edit existing scripts but making new scripts just wont work and I've tried a lot already

You must be doing something wrong then. D:

what about ruby

This just has unused flags and offsets for Firered.I think it should have unused flags and offsets for Ruby to.

The list is filled with default flags, but as I said (in the "read this" message), it's not exhaustive, it's only filled in as an example - it is there for you to be able to record your usage of flags. As long as you don't use the flags for badges and menu items where you shouldn't, then pretty much every flag is free. I advise you start at 0x200 or 0x500.

It does not, however, have a list of unused offsets - the offsets presented there were of related script. To get an unused offset, you just have to compile a script using dynamic offsets.

Those flags are used by the game.
Many flags around 0x200 and 0x500 are used.
Your best bet would be to use flags starting at 0x1000, since there are NO flags after it that are used in the game.
The truly FREE flags range from 0x1000 to 0x3FFF... that is 12287 free flags, more than enough to accommodate even the largest hacks.

Yes, but most hacks would not include most of the original game (same sprites, towns, and scripts), would they? ;)

Those flags are used by level scripts, and most people don't bother removing them.
Lots of errors can occur later in game if those flags are tampered with.
Like I said before, just use 0x1000 - 0x3FFF...
that is 12287 flags free, not even the biggest hacks use that many.

Where does it say that - on the download page, when you start, when you compile, ...?

What is wrong with it? Bear in mind it is meant for Fire Red.

Ideas for the script editor....Maybe an easier way to make special cutscene scripts?

I HAVE AN IDEA! How about somehow making a script generator that lets you make cut scenes easier...Like the cut scene in Shiny Gold (originally from Pokemon G/S/C). I have always wondered how to make a cool cut scene like that..but never was able to do so. I think that making a script generator for that kind of thing would be AWESOME!
but that's just what i think.

With something like that, I am pretty much clueless as to where to start - the possibilities for the cutscene are pretty much endless!

no no no

tried it, all the scripts I make, they make my game freeze
this is a no-no

Which scripts caused this? It's not doing this for anyone else, so you're probably making a mistake somewhere.
